License questions, need CDL to be Diesel Mechanic, have violations.

8 Points?

That's suspension level.

It will be about three years if not more to cool those points off depending on what offenses you committed to rack up that many points.

Basically you are not hireable for a few years.

 

Not if you live in Washington

 

Where is your location?

 

Tacoma, Wa.

 

This is off the Ohio DMV website. Looks like you're ok and just need a trucking company to hire you.
"If you accumulate 12 points or more in 2 years, the Ohio BMV will suspend your driver's license for 6 months."

 

What's your plan; a private cdl school or trucking company cdl school?
@eddy64
What are the dates of the tickets and what were the tickets for?

 

Oh, you can probably get cdl anyway.
It's difficult to get one these days without attending a cdl school. Since you won't be driving for a trucking company, look for the cheapest cdl school and go for it.
